Five Things You Can Sense

4 min

When anxious thoughts keep cutting across one another, the steady shape of the room offers something solid to return to. A simple five-four-three-two-one count moves through sight, sound, touch, smell and taste, letting the present grow louder than the worry. Nothing has to be solved; the thoughts may remain, but with more space around them.
